Hi guys we are booked into the Arden hotel for Crufts with 2 dogs on Wed night. Just wondering whether to leave our car at the hotel carpark and walk to Hall 2 at the NEC or should we just park our car in the West carpark and walk from there? Just been checking the weather and it looks like we may have light rain but if we leave early enough we might dodge the showers! What to do!!

We've stayed at the Arden years ago, we left our car at the hotel and walked, was much easier than walking from NEC car park (we usually park in West car park.)

Thanks that what I was thinking too and looking at Google earth it doesn't look too far either. Just worried about the rain but thankfully I have a short coated breed :)

We stayed at the Birmingham Metropole two years ago - we left car in hotel car park and walked across, much better than going from either carpark. It actually made the cost of the hotel worthwhile - nearly ;-)
